A TV bracket that is going flat to the wall is very easy to fix, and four DrylinePro™ fixings should do the job with lots of strength to spare.

We do not recommend that you attempt to fix a cantilever type (“swinging arm” type) of TV bracket to a dry lined wall, as the wall itself may have insufficient strength to support it. If however, you insist on trying it, here are a few tips:-

Your cantilever bracket should have as large a base plate as possible to resist the very powerful bending moment on the bracket and to spread the load on the wall.

Use as many fixings as you can, to spread the load.

Decide on a safety margin that you are comfortable with, and test the cantilever bracket, fixings and wall before fixing the TV to it.

An easy way to test your cantilever bracket with readily available equipment (bathroom scales ) is to stand on the scales and pull down on the bracket.

Example : You weigh 80kg, and your TV weigh’s 15kg, and you decide that you want a 2x safety factor ( ie. you want to test to 30kg)

Put the scales on the floor right under the bracket and stand on them (they read 80kg )

Pull down on the TV bracket where the TV will attach. Look at the scales, and pull down until they read 50kg ( a 30kg reduction from your 80kg weight)

What a fantastic product the Dryline Pro is! I have just moved into a new house and wanting to do my own DIY I was unsure of the correct fittings needed to put up curtain poles, shelves etc. After purchasing every possible fixing for my dry lined walls I was unsure any of them would cope when I started to think about mounting a 42" plasma on the wall! Having put in a brief description of what I needed on the internet up popped the Dryline Pro!
I just wanted to say how easy it was in the end to "do it myself"!! So come on girls take the plunge, get the drill out and relax in the confidence that it really is as easy as the demos on the web site say it is.
Thank you Dryline......... I only wish I had found your product sooner!

I just wanted to tell you that I used the Dryline Pro kit at the weekend to fix the venetian blind. What a marvellous product, a great invention, worked like a dream, just like in the demo videos, no fuss -no swearing! just straightforward first time success. The inclusion of the two drill bits was very helpful and I was able to use the one designed for soft airblock. I will definitely be recommending dryline Pro to my friends.

The Dryline pro plugs duly arrived yesterday morning and I was able to put up the curtain battens and brackets in Bristol. The system worked extremely well. The metal-type drill went through the plasterboard, the much harder 'dab on cement' and the thermalite block very easily. I didn't try the masonry drill because I was very happy with the smooth cutting action of the standard drill bit. The plugs seemed a bit 'loose' but they screwed nicely into the plasterboard. The (large) screws drove easily, but firmly into the plugs and my battens were very firm when the job was done. I am ordering another pack to use elsewhere. Many thanks for your excellent service.

I used the fixings as supplied and where previous fixings from B & Q failed these were brilliant-thanks it made what was turning into a nightmare a perfect job. Well done.

Thanks for getting the DLP's to me so quickly. Following our telephone conversation, here is what I think of your product: Brilliant! They were a pleasure to use, the drill bits supplied were decent quality and the fittings themselves work perfectly. The cup washers are a really nice touch as well. We put a very heavy 50" TV on a dot and dab dry lined wall in no time and we are confident that it won't be going anywhere. We have really struggled in the past to find a way of hanging heavy items to this kind of wall in our 10 year old building but now that I have tried your product, I would never use anything else again. I really do wish you every success with the Dryline Pro's, it should be in every DIY shop in the country. We have a Hilti outlet next to our office and even they don't have anything that really compares.

I was really taken by its' strength; very safe fixing indeed! Good luck, please find my first order attached.

Just received dlp fixing kit. At last, something that works. After living in my house for 12 years and trying all the available plastic and metal fixings from diy stores with nothing but frustrating problems, these dlp fixings are so easy to use and do the job. Thanks for a great product.

Great product...it did exactly what it said on the box. All my other fixings are in the waste bin.

Allan

Would just like to thank you for your product.....having dry lined walls can be a nightmare attaching anything to the wall but the Dryline Pro fixings are a dream come true.....reaffixed a small television bracket to the bedroom wall and it's solid as a rock.

I heard you on Malcolm Boyden's BBC Radio Oxford Breakfast Show several months ago and had the foresight to make a note of your company. Last week I needed to put up a shelf to take a TV and ordered Dryline Pro from you. Delivery was next day and I have to tell you that the product itself is a DIY man's dream. Easy to use, nothing complicated, and as soon as you begin to turn the screw into the fixing, the confidence is there - you just know it is going to hold. Brilliant!
